The progressive senator applauded the Arizona Democratic Party’s decision to censure Sinema, and said he wouldn’t necessarily vote for a Manchin-approved bill
At another point in the interview, Sanders said that Democratic infighting gives an advantage to Republicans in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections, when the GOP is poised to potentially regain control of the House and Senate. “What has bothered me very much is the Republicans are laughing all the way to election day,” Sanders said. “They have not had to cast one bloody vote… which shows us where they’re at. And we have got to change that.
By not bringing legislation to the floor, Sanders accused his party of letting the GOP “get away with murder.” “We have allowed the Republicans to get away with murder,” Sanders said. “They haven’t had to vote on anything. Now if they want to vote against lowering the cost of prescription drugs, expanding Medicaid, dealing with child care, dealing with housing, let them vote, and let Manchin and Sinema decide which side they are on.”
He added, “And when all of that shakes out we’ll see where we are. I have the feeling that we will be able to get 50 votes or more on some of these issues. We could put that piece together and then pass something that’s very significant.” Bernie Sanders on CNN says "we need a new approach in the Senate. I think after 6 months of negotiating, so called 'negotiating'…we need to start voting. We need to bring important pieces of legislation that impact the lives of working families right on the floor of the Senate"
